The ghost of Stonewall Jackson,
earned cdp-a-pie," AMI riding the ghost
of .'Old Sorrel," takes it's nightly round
to- scare the sentries at the military insti-
tute which knew him in life. The shade
of Andrew jackson has been twice visi-
BILE to mortal eyes of late, and Brigham
Young is on the war path in Salt Lake
City. These things being true, We are
exceedingly indebted to the Atlanta
Journal, which rises to explain that
these unnatural sights do not presage
war or misfortune, but ''are due to the
excited imaginations of dreamers or to
the pranks of mischievous persons.
Since reading the explanation We breathe
easier, and realize that the country il YET
safe little while.

FEDERAL. POINT ITEMS.

FEDERAL POINT, Feb :, 1887.
Special Correspondence of The News.
Thus far Florida has not been seriously
afflicted with labor troubles. and We have
had no pract ical knowledge of what has
been, and is, in the North a pestiferous
action by the labOring classes which has
served simply to destroy property, retard
and embarrass business operations. and
place themselves (the labOrers) in con-
dition of greater want and poverty, with
out one single apparent redeeming fea-
ture in the business. The labOring pOpu-
lation of this country are IA independent
and self-reliant as any class in the coun-
try, are neither owned by capital nor
controlled by corporations. With our
vast area of nnoccupied, fertile land,
which they can have for the asking,
whenever their labor becomes unremu-
nerative, they have only to throw down
the pick, shovel or hammer, and by
moving on these lands, become masters
of themselves and all their surroundings.
This fact destroys all the sympathy that
otherwise might be felt foI them in their
efforts to force up the price of labor,
which 1 am informed liz only done by the
imported element, who are apparently
ignorant of what is for their best inter
ests. Like every other apparent evil,
good may come out of these labor diff
culties, and the labOrers forced, through
their own ignorant acts, to do the very
things best conducive for their good.
Every strike in the great Northern cities
permanently throws out of employment
thousands of men who are compelled to
scatter to the far West and the cheap
lands of the South, where in time they
will become producers instead of labOrers
and consumers, adding thereby to the
great work going on In settling up and
developing the resources of this great
territory.
The natural and imported increase of
our population is bound to continue, and
however much we may deplOre a tempo
rary stagnatiOn of INN grafton and bust
ness prosperity for this State, yet it is
course of events to see Florida teeming
with dense population who will occupy
every available foot of what is now
waste ground.
Great "booms" have their great "reac-
tons" are in fact An unhealthy growth.
like the Christmas goose and ''plum pUd-
ding" A surfeit that will call for va
rious pains and penalties Injurious to the
internal corporation, making the steady
diet OF plain food the more to be desired,
the more to be sought after, and is just
exactly what Florida is getting to-day
a steady increase of popui alton that is
bound to continue in the inevitable
course of events. until her waste lands
will be matters of history, To be read

Mrs. Russell, from Connecticut, ar

Miss Carrie Cloves is here, and is i'm

will get the praise of the whole place.

and handsome while the properties show
that taste and elegance which only a
lady's hand can give. In fact, the stage
and its effects are almost perfect, COM
bining all that is necessary for the con-
venience of the performers, and that
blending of color and brightness of fleet
which alway pleases the eye of a critical
audience.
When the cul tain rose there was not a
vacant seat in the house, and here some
mention NAV be made of the performers.
Mrs. Thorne's representation of Martha
showed exceptional talent, and careful
study was proved by her keen perception
of the role. Mrs. Hotchkin as Lady
Leatherbridge was almost perfect, keep
ing the house in continual good humor.
Miss Hotchkin as Lady Valeria proved
all that the most critical audience could
expect. MIR. j. G.. Fosters Toby Twinkle
was inimitable, and showed talent seldom
seen off the professional stage he kept
the audience in roars of merriment. Mr..
&. ThOrne was a capital, high toned
villain as Sir A Lassell. while Mr.. G.. e.
Butler as Frederick. and Messrs. Reeder
and Kennedy as Harris and Stephen were
very good in their respective parts; Mr..
Kennedy was, perhaps, a little stiff and
awkward, but on the whole the perform
ance was far above the average amateur
trOupes.
Miss NJ. F.. Waldron and Mr.. ID.
WaldrOn gave some excellent music,
which was much appreciated.

The annual trade number of the Flor

sought after by both residents and visi-
tors, and is r. cognized everywhere as a
valuable exhibit of our industries and the
resources of the State. We have looked
for it tins winter with much anxiety,
because the respondent views OF the
editor mad led us to fear that he wCuld
incorporate such features as would make
it an injury instead of benefit. But il
is now before us and we are glad to bear
testimony to its magnificent appearance,
as well as the sterling quality Of the arti-
Giles chosen and the thoroughly reliable

marked the meeting OF the Fruit and

Tits Among the Groves.

When the redoubtable Quixote laid
lance in rest and rode against the wind
mill. the hoofs of Rosinante trampled
into the earth "the fair flower of knight
hood" as it had perfumed the pages of
the chronicles and romances for genera
tions. Like our oranges, however, it
has been transplanted to Florida, and
from the same root which nourished it
of old still comes the sweetness and
beauty of the virtues of stately cour
tesle."
The lists were enclosed at Ormond- on
the slifax, and thither thronged the
gallant knights and DANES as in the
days of Froissart. The proud TempIar
Brian de Bots Guilbert dotted his plume
in greeting to brave Moors, and the
Spanish champion, Bernardo del Carpio,
stood among groves and in a climate
which reminded him of home. But
there also were strangers in k lightly
garb, whose aspect was startling to their
wondering eyes. The Cow boys of Vo-
lusia" showed themselves equally expert
in the knightly exercises, and il Bernardo
and the Black Douglass were of the
party which bore away the Ormond
banner, the victory was to the sw,ftness
of their horses and not to- the strength
or skill of these champions of Chris
tendom."
The whole seems too unnatural to b.,
thoroughly enjoyable, but if no better

stance of ancient war, and let fund

sion ii held firm. and even advanced lsc for
futures und influence of fair buying here
and upward tendency at Chicago, brought
about by free buying here by one or two
shorts Later on the market became dull
there and free offers here, with poor demand,
and caused q decline of lac, and al the close
the feeling was very weak. The feature of
the market was heavy trading in cash wheat
and its weakness. Sales of all grades
amounted to 160 cars. Cash is fast de-
Ginning to legitimate value as compared
with futures, and there seemed to .be
desire on the part of some to help ii down by
free offers. Cash wheat at the opening No.
] hard was in fair demand at 73c, with about
"a cars of spot and . cars TO arrive before
the 10th sold at that figure. There was a
decline to 72s4c, at which as cars were sold.
and at the close the price was 72l2c. Just
before the close 100, 900 bu., to be delivered
the first half of the month, were offered at
